did he at least have the wisdom to steal some of the delicious cookies? they're worth $5 a dozen on the street.

/farking crack dealing girl scouts...

stopped buying GSA treats after learning from my sister how little money actually goes to the Troop. oddly enough, i've always met resistance when trying to make a donation instead of buying their damn tasty snacks.

Those cookies are never as good as I expect them to be.

//but I eat them anyway.

Did anyone RTFA? It sounds like she reported a fake B&E to cover the theft. Or am I missing something?

Great
Now the girls will have to resort to stripping to make up for the money.

Were they made with real girl scouts?

namatad: The profits are divided by a formula, with local troops receiving about 10-15% of the retail price, the council more than 50%, and the manufacturer the remainder.

HOLY CRAP!!!!
what a SCAM!!!!!!

WTF is wrong with these people???

please boycott these criminals!!!

Councils traditionally have much larger expenses to cover, if they're anything like the Boy Scouts. Camps, offices, programs, etc.

/has a seat over there

I'd kill a man for a box of Samoas. Girl Scout Cookies are one of the few non-healthy foodstuffs I allow myself, and I will buy as many as I can afford and freeze them, so I can eat them year 'round.

The boyfriend loves Thin Mints, however. He's also a Mets fan, but they can't all be perfect.

St. JOSPEH? Where is that?

My (boy scout) troop didn't get any money from the local council. I always thought it was because they were anti-Catholic, but I found out a couple years ago that I was in a rogue troop. The story goes that we were at some city wide function and some council people came over and told our adult leaders that they couldn't drink at Scout functions. Our guys told them to fark off. So after that, the council would recognize advancements by our kids, but we had nothing else to do with any other troop. For perspective, my grade school had a bar in the school building.
I turned out fine.
Also, when I got my son into boy scouts (in a nearby city), some parent stole all the money from the first fundraiser. We switched troops. I agreed to be a scoutmaster. I started getting anti-liberal chain email from some geezer at the council. So we quit.

sure sounds like someone didnt read the law


The Girl Scout Law:

I will do my best to be...
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and
responsible for what I say and do,
and to...
respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.

Stealing cookie money is certainly not being very sisterly

Troop leader dipping in the funds to support a vicious mani/pedi fetish? Grrrr....

/is currently pimping my Brownie out to sell cookies at storefronts

Green Scorpio: Did anyone RTFA? It sounds like she reported a fake B&E to cover the theft. Or am I missing something?

She wasn't that bright. If you are going to fake a b&e to conceal stealing money you would claim the full amount not part. If she was doing that, she would've had to fake three more b&e's at that pace.

/will somebody please think of money!!

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: Who stole the $900 from the cookie jar?

NOT ME!!!!
